RUFUS – The Jesstopian Senate is scheduled to swear in 17 brand new Senators after the conclusion and certification of the 2026 Senate Elections. Republicans will gain an even stronger majority wining 47 seats with Nationalists taking only 33 seats.

Republicans were projected to retain their seats, but polls predicted that toss up seats where expected to go to Nationalists which were later confirmed to be wrong. Nationalist Senate leadership say they are working to safeguard the Senate by implementing strategies to block Republican-backed LGBTQ policy that discriminates and targets the Jesstopians who identify with the community.

“Republicans may have gained a larger majority but that does not mean Nationalists are not ready to stand in their way,” said Senate Minority Leader Vicky White. “We can’t allow the Republican side of this great legislative chamber to continue to push their hateful and bigoted agenda, diminishing the LGBTQ community and destroy the very rights of members of the community.”

Republicans take a different approach with excitement around the successes that will shape the future of the United States Of Jesstopia for the next 2 years. House Speaker Gregory Harks said that the Senate victory will allow Republicans to retain control of the Senate, allowing them to continue working to reject LGBTQ ideology.

“I think the Senate victory will allow us to continue to fight the madness that has continued to plague liberal minds for the last 10 to 20 years,” said Senate Majority Leader Harry Rodham. “We don’t really care what Nationalists think about the work we are doing and will continue to do. They are all for the mutilation of children all while trying to call out Republicans who are working to protect our nation’s children.”

The Senate has held a relatively split view on LGBTQ issues with the Senate split by party lines. Senate Majority Leader Harry Rodham has been the largest advocate for anti-LGTBQ policies and has openly supported President Laylin’s hateful rhetoric against the community which Nationalists seem likely to run on come 2028, when the House, Senate and Presidential election will be held.

Nationalists saw humiliating losses during this year’s election and are gearing up to work towards reclaiming the Nationalist House, Senate and House in 2028. But for now Nationalists will again be sidelined as Republicans continue to clear the path for President Laylin to attack immigrants and the LGBTQ community.

Several pro-immigrant groups say they are planning a protest tomorrow during the swearing in of several new Republican members. Republicans have controlled the Senate since 2025 and are on track to retain the House well past the 2028 Presidential elections.
